Chapter 106: Preparing for the New Year
The big head was confused, probably knowing that his father and sister were talking about the young master of the Xie family who was saved by his brother and sister before, and it sounded like his situation was not very good.
"Did he lock up his father?" The big head asked, that's too pitiful, like his father won't lock him up, and will hug him.
Thinking of this, the big head held Wen Xiuyi's hand tighter.
"It's not that it's locked up, it shouldn't be, it's just such a small child, pitiful." Wen Xiuyi sighed, especially thinking of the final ending in the original book, he didn't know whether he was powerful or that the Qiu family was unlucky.
Wen Yao took a step forward and suddenly said, "Dad, you said that the shopkeeper Qiu is also surnamed Qiu, will it have anything to do with Sister Qiu's family?" ”
Wen Xiuyi shook his head, and Shopkeeper Qiu's reaction didn't look like it: "If it really matters, Shopkeeper Qiu won't say it?" Don't think about it, there is not only one family surnamed Qiu in this world. ”
However, the origin of the shopkeeper Qiu is really very foggy.
No one noticed that when the shopkeeper Qiu was mentioned, the big head held by Wen Xiuyi stopped talking and was entangled, and his little face was about to wrinkle.
When they arrived at the dock, Wen Nong was busy, and the Li family and the Cai family were also helping to clean up, and the Luo family was afraid of delaying the guests, so they did not sit in the shed, but under the big tree next to them, guarding their rhubarb.
"Mother, are you done buying?" Wen Xiuyi looked at the ox cart, and there were already a lot of large and small bags.
Roche patted his clothes and stood up and looked at them: "Well, what about you guys?" Why didn't you come back until this time? ”
"I've bought it, it's all here, and I'm delayed by something." Wen Xiuyi and Wen Jun put their things in the car and wrapped them, and no one knew what they bought.
"What's wrong?" Roche asked.
"It's not a big deal." Wen Xiuyi didn't want to talk more about the Xie family to the Wen family, so he diverted the topic: "Mother, then let's go back?" Do you still have to go around the docks? Let's see if there is anything else to buy, buy a few fish, Dr. Jin and Shopkeeper Qiu have to prepare more sumptuous when they come to our house for the New Year. ”
Roche lifted the straw mat in the corner of the ox cart and placed a large wooden bucket underneath it, in which the fish were still bouncing.
Wen Xiuyi smiled, and when he opened his mouth, he praised his mother for her thoughtfulness, which provoked Luo Zhi to give him a roll of the eyes, but he didn't ask them what happened.
After Wennong closed the stall, the family returned to Gutong Village in a mighty way.
Because of the Wen family's house-building, they also paid a salary a year ago, and this time many people can buy more things to have a good year.
But when they saw the things pulled back by the Wen family's ox cart, some people couldn't help but muttered in private.
This is buying land, building a house, and buying cattle, what did the Wen family do to make a fortune? Just by the stall at the pier? No, it's not that they don't have no one to set up a stall at the dock, and the business is just like that, not to mention losing money, but not making much money.
But despite this, no one dared to inquire about the Wen family, the fate of the Li family was still vivid in their minds before, and the Wen family was silent, and they actually found such a hard backer.
In a blink of an eye, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month arrived, the Wen family was busy up and down, and the three sons and several grandsons were dizzy by Luo's call, and cleaned up the house inside and out.
This year is special, in addition to their family, there are also Dr. Jin and Shopkeeper Qiu are coming for the New Year, and the house is not cleaned up, so that the guests can see the burial.
Wen Yao is in charge of the kitchen, the two aunts and Wen Di are responsible for helping her, Wen Ying and Datou, no one has ever detained them, and they are crazy all over the village.
As for the head of the family, Wen Laohan, seeing that he was guarding the rhubarb every day, he was sent by the Luo clan to clean up the livestock shed, and if it wasn't for the cold, he would have to take a bath in the rhubarb.
I couldn't take a bath, but Wen Laohan didn't grieve the rhubarb, took a handkerchief and took water to wipe it clean, and tied red silk to the horns, how festive and festive.
On the twenty-ninth day, the day of the couplet.
Wen Xiuyi, as one of the scholars with the highest level of culture, fell on him the task of writing couplets.
When he got up early in the morning, the big head helped grind, Wen Jun laid the paper, Wen Laohan and Luo Shi were the supervisors next to him, and the others gathered in a circle, waiting for Wen Xiuyi to write the first couplet of the year.
"What are you writing about?" Wen Xiuyi didn't put down the pen, looked at the family, and finally looked at a few nephews and big heads, and asked: "Let's test you, you have read a lot of books these days, come, tell me how to write this couplet in our family this year." ”
Several sons of the Wen family: "Uncle ......", please let it go.
Only the big head thought seriously, and then said: "Dad, how about writing on the door, 'Spring Companion Fulin is well-off everywhere, and Fu is big and backgammon every year with spring'?" It means that our family fortune is good to fortune, family harmony, and we are rising step by step. ”
Wen Xiuyi's eyes lit up: "Horizontal criticism will be used for family and everything, good son, just write this." ”
After saying that, the pen moved, and he wrote on the red paper.
After the door was written, Wen Yao spoke: "Dad, 'Five blessings are coming to the door, everything goes well, and the auspicious stars are shining' will be posted on the door of my grandfather's hall." ”
"Okay, Yaoyao, that's good." Wen Laohan was the first to stand up in support and applauded happily.
Roche glared at him, but smiled happily.
Wen Xiuyi picked up the pen and wrote, and continued to look at a few small ones, a few people scratched their ears and cheeks, and they really didn't know what to do.
Wen Jun was helpless, so he could only speak: "Fuwang is prosperous and lucky, the family is prosperous, the people are prosperous, the family business is prosperous, and the family business is prosperous, and Wennong is doing business, so stick it on the door of the second uncle's house." ”
Wen Xiuzhu and Li Shi slowly recited these words, and praised them again and again, and even Wen Nong patted Wen Jun's shoulder happily, very happy.
Among a few boys, in addition to the big head who studied seriously, there was only Wen Jin in the third room, seeing that the big head and Wen Yao Wenjun had said, the eyes of the last few people fell on him, Wen Jin could only blush and whispered: "Uncle, you can see if it's okay, 'Fortune and wealth are more joyful, people are happy and everything is smooth, and everything is going well." ’”
Wen Xiuqing almost cried excitedly: "Okay, okay, that's it, that's it, that's it, big brother, just write this for my family." ”
Cai's eyes were even more red, his own son knew that he was not honest on weekdays, and he followed his brothers and sisters silently, never coming up, Wen Yao taught them to read, and he was also the most serious learner.
Cai secretly turned his back and wiped his eyes, and made a decision in his heart, after the New Year, even if he was tired and hard, he had to find a way for Wen Jin to go to school, and he would beg his father and mother when the time came.
